ABOUT THIS EPISODE
NERC is considering a major shift in how CIP standards work — including a parallel “100 Series” designed for cloud and system-based environments.
In this episode of Direct Connect with Archer, Steve Parker and John Fallon break down:
- Why the current device-focused model struggles with cloud
- What a system-based approach could change
- The compliance and audit complexity this may introduce
- How vendors, utilities, and security programs could be affected

Is this the future of CIP… or a compliance headache in the making?
